[AMRadio] 160m anyone?

[Mark]

I want to put up a 160 antenna before snow flies. I am considering a 
full wave loop. My challenge is an antenna cannon/launcher as I have 
some 80 foot pines on the property. I would like to scrounge the parts 
and build the launcher myself.

Anyone have good plans for a launcher?

Hope to see you guys on 80/160 AM this year. I listened all last year 
while I built my work bench and recapped a couple of receivers. 
Receiving is fun, but I'd like to send out a little RF on occasion.

Best,

Mark
